The collection of 50 interviews from successful self-made entrepreneurs
If you conduct a series of 50 interviews with experts in a specific field, will it change your life? Brian Schwartz believes it will. After going through this process himself, he is so convinced about its effectiveness that he wrote a book about it and is now building a business around it.
Brian Schwartz, the author of 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs has interviewed 50 entrepreneurs about their challenges as well as their rewards. He got advice from people who stood in his shoes, felt the same fears, and went through the same challenges.
The interviews shed light on what inspires and drives the ordinary, everyday entrepreneur. It is a collection of 50 role models who inspire others and prove that anything is possible. Role models who show by example that each of us have a gift to make a difference in our own unique way. 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs is a showcase of people living their dreams and enjoying the payoff that results from taking the leap in something they are truly passionate about. It is an armchair entrepreneurs 'kick in the pants' guide to getting off the couch.
To demonstrate the process, Brian will be conducting a live interview with three veteran entrepreneurs on stage at the event."
Brian Schwartz is a person standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to make the leap. As the author of 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs, Brian has been mentally preparing himself to take the leap.
Join us as we prepare ourselves to take the leap to becoming successful entrepreneurs.
